Scattered foxing at the end of the volume. A superb Art Deco volume, entirely decorated by the Lyon-based copper engraver Claudius Linossier (1893–1953) with 73 geometric compositions wood-engraved by Philippe Burnot and printed in red, black, gray, and silver, most of which are enhanced with palladium.

Limited edition of 133 copies on vellum, all personalized; this particular copy was specially printed for Mr. Léon Desbenoit. This copy is enhanced with an original drawing that served as a layout and a series of 11 proofs and states on tracing paper, signed in pencil by Burnot, of that same drawing.
